    it may be fun to watch if perfection is the key element.

    A hundred yards! [Laughing] I've heard they built a Storch replica, among other things, that is pretty authentic, but I haven't seen it. I need to get a mutual acquaintance to introduce me to them. These guys market a wind speed indicator that is also used as an airspeed indicator on the ultralight glider I fly.

    Subject: period between condition inspections
    Hi all, Apparently my google kung-fu is weak, today. I can't seem to find the correct verbiage in the FARs regarding the period of time allowed between condition inspections amateur-built experimental aircraft and the person who is doing the inspection is telling me something different. I *think* that a condition inspection is valid from the time of inspection until the end of the month in the following year, but my A&P is saying that it ends exactly 1 year, to the day, after the prior inspection was completed. For example, the last inspection on N8031 was done on 6/12/09. I think the inspection is valid until the end of June, 2010. My A&P says I need to get it done by 6/12/10. Can anyone point me to the correct FAR? Thanks, Dan PS. It's sort-of a moot point since I've got him scheduled to do the inspection on 6/8, but this is driving me crazy. -- Dan Yocum Fermilab 630.840.6509 yocum@fnal.gov, http://fermigrid.fnal.gov "I fly because it releases my mind from the tyranny of petty things."

    I have seen the Storch replica the Hall's brothers are building...beautiful craftsmanship, we had one of our EAA chapter meetings at their shop in Morgan UT. You are correct they manufacture the Hall airspeed indicator, that's where they made their first million starting back late 70's early 80's and still going strong today.

    It is 12 calendar months so you have until the end of June. The wording is probably contained in your operating limitations. It will read something like this: "No person must operate this aircraft unless within the preceding 12 calendar months it has had a condition inspection performed in accordance with the scope and detail of appendix D to part 43, or other FAA-approved programs, and was found to be in a condition for safe operation. As part of the condition inspection, cockpit instruments must be appropriately marked and needed placards installed in accordance with 91.9. In addition, system-essential controls must be in good condition, securely mounted, clearly marked, and provide for ease of operation. This inspection will be recorded in the aircraft maintenance records." -john- John Hofmann Vice-President, Information Technology The Rees Group, Inc. 2424 American Lane Madison, WI 53704 Phone: 608.443.2468 ext 150 Fax: 608.443.2474 Email: jhofmann@reesgroupinc.com On Jun 3, 2010, at 1:30 PM, Dan Yocum wrote: > > Hi all, > > Apparently my google kung-fu is weak, today.

    Dan, It's listed in your operating limitations. Most say 12 calendar months, just as you thought. Not a clue as to the FAR number.

    Subject: period between condition inspections
    Dan-- the short answer is you are correct. The last sign off is good until the end of the month of the year following the date of sign off. (that's why smart shoppers try to get a plane signed off near the 1st of the month, just like your medical or flight review) The The long answer is I can't find the FAR just yet which specifies this but know it follows the same scope as an annual inspection for certified aircraft. A condition inspection is required every 12 calendar months on amateur-built aircraft. This check is similar to an annual inspection required by FAR Part 43 on production airplanes. The Phase 2 Operating Limitations specifically refer to FAR Part 43, Appendix D, as the guide to performing this inspection. The inspection can be performed by any licensed A & P mechanic, an FAA Approved Repair Station, or by the builder of the airplane provided the builder obtains a "Repairman's Certificate" from the FAA. FAA Advisory Circular 65-23A is available for information concerning application and privileges of this certificate.

    FAR 43.1 (b) says "This part does not apply to any aircraft for which the FAA has issued an experimental certificate, unless the FAA has previously issued a different kind of airworthiness certificate for that aircraft."

    OK, I'm going to take the easy road and play dumb ('cause it's easy for me!). You're the 3rd or 4th person to use the phrase "your Operating Limitations." When it comes to the condition inspection, don't all "Experimental Amateur-Built Aircraft with a Special Airworthiness Certificate(tm)" follow the same limitation? I can understand one Piet having a different gross weight or Vne from another, so the operating limitations are going to be different. But, when it comes to something like this, they all follow the same rule - "a condition inspection within the preceeding 12 calendar months" - right?

    Most likely that will be the case, but it can vary, especially when the airplanes are in different parts of the country, and the builders are using different DAR's or FSDO personnel. One inspector might not like a particular model, and might put more restrictive limitations on a model, than another inspector. It is not supposed to be that way, but........ -------- Long flights, smooth air, and soft landings, GliderMike, aka Mike Glasgow Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=299920#299920

    They could choose to specify special operating limitations depending upon the aircraft, but AFAIK this is a rare occurence for "normal" homebuilt aircraft. If you don't have any documentation that came with the aircraft specifying any special operating limitations regarding the annual condition inspection, then you should be fine using the standard statement from Order 8130 as your "approved data".

    Subject: Rudder cable tension changes in motion
    Michael, I have just had my control cables adjusted (on a Zodiac 601XL) and the guy doing it used a similar tensiometer. He had a conversion chart to convert the reading to pounds dependant on cable size. I can't say what the 2.5 means but it seems light. Don't forget, the distance from the center of the rudder bar to the cable attach point is not the same as the rudder control horn distance. There will be some difference in the geometry and therefore tension. I made mine "about right" when the rudder was straight.

    Go to: http://www.optimanufacturing.com/Documents/SOP-TN-001%20T5%20Manual%20Rev10.pdf where you will find a manual for your tensionmeter. Section VI in the manual tells you how to check and/or calibrate your unit. If you bought the meter new, it should have come with a table that indicates the conversions depending on which riser you have in place. It uses different risers for different size cables. You have a T5 version, but I didn't notice which version you had. They have pictures of both versions, so you will be able to know which chart to use. The dial on the T5 is not a "direct reading" dial. You must look up the reading in a chart to determine actual tension. The way the T5 is set up makes it more versatile than a direct reading tensionmeter. i have used the T6-8000, and found it to be a quality tool. -------- Long flights, smooth air, and soft landings, GliderMike, aka Mike Glasgow Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=299941#299941

    I wouldn't want to guess rudder tension on a Piet, but for what its worth, some of the later Cessna 182's before 1963, and pre-1963 185's call for 20 to 40 pounds of tension on the rudders. The manual I have access to doesn't give the tension for the rest of the single engine tri-gear airplanes. They list aileron tension as 40 pounds on the 150 to 185 series. If I remember correctly, those airplanes use 1/8 inch cable, rather than 3/32 inch cable. I would think 40 pounds would be too high with 3/32 inch cable, but I would also think 7 pounds might be a little light. You want enough tension on the cable so it doesn't have slack in it when it is at the lightest tension point, or when it is hot out, so it doesn't pop out of the pulleys. You want the tension light enough so it doesn't wear the pulleys. If the pulleys are slightly mis-aligned, you may not notice the misalignment until they show wear. If it were my airplane, I would probably go with 15 to 20 pounds of cable tension. It is not my airplane, so I would say go with what you think is good. Maybe some of the folks that have been flying their airplanes a while will have some input. -------- Long flights, smooth air, and soft landings, GliderMike, aka Mike Glasgow Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=299979#299979

Hope the weather holds out!! So keep on plugging and slugging through all the small stuff. I know at times it seems never ending, but at some point it will all come together!! Brodhead or Bust!!
